A former Pakistani diplomat Agha Zafar Hilaly admitted throughout a Pakistani TV present that 300 terrorists had died within the Balakot airstrike performed by India on February 26, 2019. Islamabad had then tried to play its false agenda claiming that nobody had died within the airstrike, as a result of admitting to it that tons of of terrorists had been killed would have uncovered them for operating a secure haven for terror outfits.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) had carried out the airstrike in Balakot, concentrating on terror group Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) coaching camp. The airstrike was performed after J&K’s Pulwama terror assault wherein 40 CRPF personnel had been martyred. JeM had claimed duty of the Pulwama assault.

“India crossed the international border and did an act of war in which at least 300 were reported dead. Our target was different from theirs. We targeted their high command. That was our legitimate target because they are men of the military. We subconsciously accepted that a surgical strike — a limited action — did not result in any casualty. Now we have subconsciously told them that, whatever they will do, we’ll do only that much and won’t escalate,” ANI reported Agha Zafar Hilaly as saying.
